Hey, Welcome to Trying Matters!I started this podcast in March of 2024 with the intention to inspire women to be their authentic selves and go after their big dreams. Along the way, I was a true testament to the title and premise of this podcast, Trying Matters. I explored many avenues of my career, which took me away from going all-in on this podcast and community building journey. Well, as of January 2026, I’m giving it another go! If you’ve found this podcast, you’re in for your own ride, right alongside me, as I explore where life is taking me; career pivots, everyday life struggles, and girl talk are what you’ll be hearing! My goal is still to create community through this podcast by encouraging you to push the limits and try the scary things you’ve been wanting to try through modeling that it’s possible in my own life. It’ll all be recorded right here on Trying Matters for you to listen to at any time. I hope you love it, the old and the new! Let’s freaking go girls!!

    The Lowest Lows Make For The Highest Highs

    Y'all, I have had this realization this week that my confidence has disappeared...and I didn't even realize it! Okay, so I kind of felt it dwindling, but this past week, the week of my 29th birthday, I realized that the confidence I worked so hard to build over the past few years has slowly been slipping away. How did I realize this you ask? Through a series of sad days and a really low moment that same week. Those moments lead me to realize that sometimes, we need those low moments to bring us back into our best versions of ourselves. So if you're struggling with confidence right now or just need a relatable pep talk, here ya go!

    I'M BACK! And The Crossroad Is Where I've Been

    I’m back! Boy have I missed this podcast! There’s been so much going on since I last recorded. I had to explain what’s been going on, and of course the lessons learned. This episode is about being at a crossroad, knowing when to stick it out versus when it’s time to go. That’s where I've been for the past 2-3 months. Decision making is not my favorite thing. I’m sure you can agree that it is not always easy, so listen to this when you’re feeling like you need some help continuing or calling it off. And don’t forget, you got this!

    Advice Is Not A One Size Fits All

    How many times have you heard someone else talk about the “thing that changed their life forever,” tried it yourself, and realized it wasn’t for you? Here’s the thing, I totally realize that this podcast is exactly that! But, the part that I really want everyone to understand is, we all come from different backgrounds, lifestyles, values, and upbringings. Our stories make us all unique, which, as you know is something we pride ourselves in here on the Trying Matters Podcast. But, how often are we trying to fit ourselves into the molds of what someone else had success with? Of course, I always encourage trying new things and seeing how those things work for us in the current season of life we are in, but that does not mean that the proposed solution by another is the end all be all!  This episode is a reminder to grow and change, to try new things, and to learn from others' experiences, but to always remember to take stories from others with a grain of salt. This episode is about remembering that there is no “secret sauce” that will work for everyone in the exact same way. This episode is here to remind you to keep yourself individualized and do what works best for you!   Don't forget to follow/subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode, and of course, if you love it, give it a rating and review!

    Why I Left Social Media and What Life Has Been Like Since

    Thinking about leaving the social media world? This episode is for you! Honestly, even if you haven’t been thinking about leaving social media platforms, this episode is about creating an awareness of your relationship with social media and the impact it has on your life.

I’ve been off both platforms for 2 months, and there have definitely been some realizations. Now, I’m not saying everyone should eliminate social media from their lives, but this episode is all about paying attention to your habits, feelings, and purpose in relation to social media. I hope you love it and learn something new! Don't forget to follow/subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode, and of course, if you love it, give it a rating and review!

    Going through a transition period? Over committing? This is for YOU!

    Heads up! This one is a REAL, real talk! Lately, both so many people in my life and I have been facing the challenge of "major change" and "transition period" in our lives. Realizing our new realities, the new season of our lives, and accepting the changes that are actively occurring around us, that are out of our control are causing some difficulty. Honestly, it’s really difficult to accept change, and it’s even harder to pivot when what used to work is no longer working. The other thing that I’ve been hearing and experiencing is the issue of overcommitting and the chaos that comes with it. When we say yes to one thing, we are saying no to another. Couple the many yeses with unaccepted change/reality you get a whole lot of self-doubt, exhaustion, and frustration! This episode digs into those concepts and what we can do to face those challenges. Hope you love it! Don't forget to follow/subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode, and of course, if you love it, share it on socials and tag me @dadams625 so we can connect!

How many times have you said “no” to a fun time with people you enjoy being with because of logistics, made up stories about what you THINK will happen, or even because you’re afraid of what uncomfy thing MAY occur with that person you haven’t seen in forever? I know I have been guilty of all of these, so in this episode, we’re talking about the obstacles and giving the reasons why and how to go ahead and go do the fun things with the people you enjoy being around!  Don't forget to follow/subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode, and of course, if you love it, share it on socials and tag me @dadams625 so we can connect!
